POLICE have arrived at City Hall to remove outspoken independent councillor Nicole Johnston from this afternoon's Brisbane City Council meeting.

Officers were called about 3pm after she refused a direction to leave the meeting from council chairwoman Margaret de Wit, who objected to Cr Johnston's behaviour.

The meeting was adjourned and Cr Johnston was told she was potentially in breach of the City of Brisbane Act.

She refused a further request to leave from Town Clerk Peter Rule.

Police have previously been called to BCC meetings about seven times as a result of Cr Johnston's behaviour, however the latest incident is the first since debate returned to City Hall a month ago.

Under law changes to introduced by the State Government a councillor found guilty of inappropriate conduct or misconduct for refusing to leave a meeting can be made to apologise, be suspended or fined more than $5500.
